Comment
Difference between Dann Po 197 and 197a
Dann Po 197 can be seen above. It has one lily at 2 o'clock, between the cross.
Dann Po 197a has the same lily, but also a smaller letter ‘D’ at 7 or 8 o'clock.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe, particularly in the German States. The use of Billon, a copper and silver alloy, was a common practice during this period as it was a more affordable alternative to pure silver or gold coins. Additionally, the lily/cross symbol on the coin was a popular motif during the Middle Ages and was often used to represent the Christian faith.
